When you think of a modern kitchen or bathroom, you might think of clean lines, streamlined appliances, minimal decoration, neutral color tones, and efficiency.

You’re always stepping all over them. Your kitchen and bathroom floors deserve some respect. Maybe they’re in dire need of an update. Old, grimy tiles or washed out, warped wood?
